Yes. My father died of non alcoholic fatty liver. Through late diagnosis he already had cirrhosis when he was diagnosed. Combo of diabetes and shitty genetic luck, as he was very active and ate well. It was a long, slow, shitty horrible death, its not something you die from quickly. And it is abolutely reversible if…

This lovely woman I work with also has not gotten the memo. Every time she says “oriental guy” i say “Asian. Oriental is rugs and vases, people are Asian.”

This is a fantastic thing, but as a labor attorney I must say... Please, Please anyone considering striking from paid work, have a clear understanding of your employers policies on this. On The Day without Immigrants, many people were immediately terminated for not showing up to work. If you are an “at will” employee,…

“bored” wow.

If that is the definition of disordered eating, then yeah, I think everyone I know is doing that. I’m pregnant right now and I guess I’ve given myself permission to not do that. I only think about what I’m eating in that I want to ensure I eat fruit and veggies everyday. Otherwise, it’s probably the only time I’m not…

I guess define what you mean by “disordered eating?” I think sometimes I don’t really even have a grasp of what that means.

I”m almost done with Leah’s show, and she doesn’t really get into how they recruit and if they do. I’m also confused about the couple who was forced to get an abortion, but other couples could leave the Sea Org to have kids. I could go down the rabbit whole, but am at work. She also doesn’t mention enough about the…

I have to agree with you. No one with a government job who took trips to Europe can be classified as “poor.”

But why doesn’t it become your name? My name is my father’s name, but my brother doesn’t say that? He doesn’t say “it’s my father’s name.” So for me, it doesn’t make sense that my brother’s birth surname is his, but my birth surname is my father’s. We both got our father’s surname. He get’s to own it, but i don’t?…

I’m sure since most women getting an abortion after 20 weeks are getting one because something is wrong with the baby or themselves would welcome large doses of Oxy. If i was in that horrid situation I’d offer to be the experiment subject.

I didn’t realize how much money we had/didn’t have until, seriously, college. So i was raised solidly middle class. Had my own bedroom in a four bedroom house, two cars. My mom was a stay at home mom. I know now that compared to many friends, we had more money than they did. However, my father had been raised very…

This issue. I’ve commented on this issue before and it makes my blood boil. Those women with medical issues aside, I can’t help but think the bulk of this guys’ practice is women like the 27 year old. I’m 37 years old. I still deal with feeling ashamed of my cellulite, acne, boobs that are getting droopy, pouch from…

I’m currently 6 months pregnant and feel like a beached whale. The fact that some men can find it sexy makes me cackle here to myself. I don’t think my husband finds me unappealing, he’s just bad with compliments. I’ll keep you in mind. ;)

I assumed that she admitted after becoming a born again that she was wrong and shouldn’t have sought out an abortion. But maybe I’m being too nice...

So I live in Sacramento and there was a totally awesome under 21 club called the Amazon in Citrus Heights they could have gone to. They wouldn’t have been the only black guys there, but would have come close!!

Depends, they’re working on it, but most 911 systems can’t utilize them. What Shelwood said.

Yes it’s true. Even in large cities, they have to triangulate the signal to find you. The more remote you are, or the farther away from towers, the harder it is. Always use a landline if you can. Obviously if its not an emergency or you are capable of giving an actual location, then its less of an issue. Also,…

The only thing I want to say is actually, it would have been much harder had he been a good father. I’m not doubting she feels something akin to grief, but as someone who lost my own father much too soon, had he been an irredeemable prick like this guy, who deserved the words “he leaves behind two relieved children”…

Fun enough, the evacuation area is smack dab in the middle of the red part of our state. So yes, the people being evacuated did totally vote for him!!!

I’ve felt that too, but keep in mind, their beauty standards were different. The actress that played Jane I think with her long nose and pointy chin and blond hair would have been classified as beautiful back then.
